This week on The Literary Life, Angelina and Thomas wrap up their series on J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter: Book 1. Angelina and Thomas begin the episode with some thoughts on their Aristotelian approach to literature as seen in this series of episodes. After sharing their commonplace quotes, they dive into their discussion of the last few chapters of the book. Some of the ideas they consider are how the entire plot is a series of symbols, alchemy and the allegory of the soul, and the figure of the “wildman” in the literary tradition. They also go over the characters of the centaurs, the significance of the unicorn, more references to Greek mythology, how Harry exemplifies the “chest” of the well-ordered man, and the great importance of the philosopher's stone as a Christ symbol. Visit HouseofHumaneLetters.com for classes with Angelina, Thomas, and other members of their teaching team. Commonplace Quotes: There is a sort of wild fairy interest in these tales which makes me think them fully better adapted to awaken and soften the heart of childhood that the “good boy” stories which have been in later years composed for them. In the latter case their minds are, as it were, put into the stocks…and the moral always consists in good conduct being crowned with temporal success. The truth is, I would not give one tear shed over Little Red Riding Hood for all the benefit to be derived from a hundred histories of Jimmy Goodchild. Sir Walter Scott, from a letter to a friend “I believe in God, not magic.” In fact, Rowling initially was afraid that if people were aware of her Christian faith, she would give away too much of what's coming in the series. “It I talk too freely about that,” she told a Canadian reporter, “I think the intelligent reader–whether ten [years old] or sixty–will be able to guess what is coming in the books.” Michael Nelson, quoting J. K. Rowling, from “Fantasia: The Gospel According to C. S. Lewis“ A Selection from “The Inferno”, Canto XII By Dante Alighieri, trans. by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow O blind cupidity, O wrath insane, That spurs us onward so in our short life, And in the eternal then so badly steeps us!I saw an ample moat bent like a bow, As one which all the plain encompasses, Conformable to what my Guide had said.And between this and the embankment's foot Centaurs in file were running, armed with arrows, As in the world they used the chase to follow.Beholding us descend, each one stood still, And from the squadron three detached themselves, With bows and arrows in advance selected;And from afar one cried: “Unto what torment Come ye, who down the hillside are descending? Tell us from there; if not, I draw the bow.” Book List: Studies in Classic American Literature by D. H.

In this sermon we celebrate the ascension of Jesus. We consider that the ascension has to do with Christ's lordship over all things and that because he returns to the Father we have know we are in good hands. This, with a little help from C.S. Lewis's The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and a story about a train attendant at the London Euston railway station who once saved the day.

Sometimes we forget how radical and powerful God's grace is. This week's guest, Toni McFadden, has not forgotten. Toni travels the country to speak about abortion, promote healthy sexuality and relationships, and advocate for the unborn. After Toni had an abortion in high school, God transformed her life through radical salvation, healing, and a new calling. Her life testifies to how Jesus forgives our sin and redeems our stories.

In this episode, Devin and Colton discuss The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C. S. Lewis. They explore the episodic nature of the book and the common thread of covetousness that ties the different “episodes” together. They also toss around themes of sanctification and the role of Sol, the sun, within the story. Their conversation also explores the power of stories, particularly in relation to children and their understanding of complex concepts. ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/ ✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes

What are some reading habits for growing in preaching? Here's a few suggestions. In Relatione (relevant links) Eowyn's Recommendation: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (consider also the BBC Radio Dramas) ESV Reader's Bible ( which also comes in a six-volume version) I'll do future episodes sharing resources for learning the original language (and there are many!), but for now, John Dobson's books on Greek and Hebrew have both been excellent. ESV Expository Commentary | this is an excellent basic commentary set to invest in Best Commentaries on Each Book of the Bible Top 5 Commentaries on Every Book of the Bible Creeds, Confessions, and Catechisms | this is a great place to begin reading creeds and confessions Ex Interrete (a hodgepodge of Internet items that I enjoyed) Shepherding Our Children through Hardships and Suffering Seeing our children suffer through trials can be extremely difficult. Even parents who are well-equipped to cope with their own problems often find themselves feeling helpless when their child is the one hurting. How can we shepherd our children through adversity in a healthy, God-honoring way? When troubles find our children, here are three ways we can support them. 2 Samuel 12: On Nathan's Brave Parable, David's Belated Repentance, and the LORD's Merciful Response (Bible Talk, Ep.103) The Bible Talk podcast is easily in my top five favorite podcasts.
There once was a crew of Narnian's who set sail for the east. Further east than any map of theirs had ever chartered, further east than any of their people had ever gone. Eastward all the way to the division between their world and Aslan's country. They took off, aboard the Dawn Treader, past the lone islands, past dragon island, past burnt island, and deathwater, and dark island. By the time they arrived upon Ramandu's island, many of them were beginning to feel ready to turn round and go back home. Although they hadn't reached Aslan's country, they had gone a fairly good distance, further than any other ship and its crew had ever gone before. And they were feeling content about that, satisfied with that. That is, most of them.There was still one member of the crew who had yet to speak up, which was surprising, since that member of the crew was usually the one always speaking up. That member of the crew was a mouse, named Reepicheep. His friend Lucy, wondering why he had yet to say anything, finally asked him, “Aren't you going to say anything, Reep?“ She's thinking, “All these guys are ready to turn round, ready to say, “Good enough,” and go back home to “Life as usual” — Reepicheep, are you cool with that? Is that what you're going to do? Reepicheep chose to answer her at a level of volume loud enough for all to hear, saying: “My own plans are made. While I can, I sail east in the Dawn Treader. When she fails me, I shall paddle east in my own boat. When it sinks, I shall swim east with my four paws. And when I can swim no longer, if I have not reached Aslan's country, or shot over the edge of the world, I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise.” Reepicheep was not one for, moderation. Not one for “life as usual.” Certainly not one to give up on adventure. Neither was the apostle Paul. Writing to his beloved Philippians, he gladly affirmed that they had already come so far in terms of their faith and conduct. Nevertheless, Paul sought to urge them onward, with a prayer to the tune of, “Philippians, grow deeper as Christians. Grow further as Christians. There is still more to be had before you.” Sail east, then paddle east, then swim east, until you hit the shore. His words this morning, I pray, will have a stirring effect upon us. That God, through his word, would create in us an eager fervency to go on further, and further, and further as followers of Jesus. Let's pray, and ask once more, for the Lord's help toward that end.Verse 9: Abounds more and more…So, Paul's prayer is for the Philippians to grow, all the more, as Christians. We see it right away in the words of verse 9, “And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more.” That phrase has such a delightful cadence to it, doesn't it? Abound, more, and more. It rolls along so smoothly, in fact, that it can slip right past us, tiptoe into the sentence nearly unnoticed. But make no mistake, my brothers and sisters, this is no moderate, inconspicuous, tiptoeing concept.Abound, more, and more is immense. Far-reaching. Excessive. At a size or in a quantity that not only fills the space around it but then flows over, and spills out, and rushes onward, and then keeps right on going. Abound more and more comes with no off switch, no handle with which to close the valves and stop the supply. It progresses onward, wholly unencumbered by the drag of “moderation” and the weight of being far too easily satisfied. For love to abound more and more, is to have a love that increases on and on and on in glorious surplus. Paul's prayer regarding love is on a scale and to a degree we rarely fathom, let alone pray for. If that's the quantity of love he's wanting to see within these Philippians, then what is its kind? What kind of love is Paul praying for? The immediate context would suggest we're at least talking about love for other people — and especially so people within the church. The verses before resound with Paul's great love for these Philippians, describing how he held these brothers and sisters in his heart, and yearned for them all with the affection of Christ Jesus. Some verses later will reveal what can come about as a result of a lack of love for others. Philippians 1:15, “Some preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. The latter do it out of love.” The former, thinking not to love Paul, but afflict him. So Paul's prayer for the Philippians to abound in love is very much sandwiched between an example of love for others, on one side, and lack of love for others, on the other.That said, I don't believe Paul is praying only for the Philippians love for others. One reason simply being that he doesn't define it as a love for others. He just says love. “And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more.” Love, in the most comprehensive sense. Love with a capital L. The kind of love that, as one writer puts it, “pervades ones entire being…and marks every attitude and action” (Motyer).Paul is praying that the Philippian church would become a people who are entirely marked by love. Love in their everything.As an aside, I believe he'd pray much of the same for us — Cities Church. That we, in an age of skepticism (Is love even real?), shallowness (I love with one foot in and one foot out), and apathy (Love is lame, love is optional, love is whatever). That we, in a world like that, in a world rife with dulled and shrunken hearts, would be a people bright, blazing, and alive with love! A people with love coursing through every fiber of our beings. A people secured in God's love, and thereby set free to love. A people eager to grow and abound in love, more, and more, and more, and more — never letting up, and ever wanting increase. Would we want him to pray such things for us? Are we, in our minds, already loving enough? Brothers and sisters, moderation in some things, sure, but love? “With knowledge and discernment…”Now, Paul isn't praying for love to abound, period. But for love to abound — look with me, verse nine — “with knowledge and all discernment.” Some of us in the room maybe just breathed a huge sigh of relief: “phew, knowledge and discernment.” Some of us felt a sense of reassurance now that knowledge and discernment have walked in the room. I get it. I do. But, why do you think you feel that way?Is it, perhaps, because you're imagining that knowledge and discernment has a subduing effect upon love? That knowledge and discernment comes in and reduces loves down to a more manageable, less lifestyle-interfering size? Offers a sort of shield, safeguard, from ever really needing to feel love, ever really needing to act upon it, and mainly only ever needing to give it a nod here and there? Is that, my brothers and sisters, how we think Paul understood the relationship between knowledge and discernment and love? Is that what we think Paul really desired for his beloved Philippians — that they would abound in a sort of semi-muted and tempered love? A convenient, only when comfortable love?No … It is a lie that love and knowledge clash with one another. It is a lie that love and knowledge hinder one another. It is a lie, hear me, that to grow in knowledge is to lessen in love, and vice-versa. In other words, if you are holding on to the claim that, “Hey, I'm kind of a knowledge guy. Other people do that love stuff — I'm exempt from that.” Or, if you are holding on to the claim that, “I'm just a lover, I leave that knowledge stuff to others, I just love people, I don't need to do the knowledge thing.” Consider that God abounds in both. He, the most knowledgeable and discerning being in all the universe is also, at one and the same time the most loving being in all the universe, and he sees no contradiction in that. In fact, he calls us to become more like him. We, every single one of us, no exceptions, are called to abound in both. You got a certain personality, certain inclinations, yes, of course, nevertheless, God calls you to abound, and even want to abound, in both. And note, if you do abound in both, what you'll then be enabled to do: verse 9 into 10…“Approve what is excellent” “9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent.” Love that abounds with knowledge and discernment, enables a person to approve what is excellent. And how helpful, for not all that's in our world is excellent. There are some things in our world that are — certain behaviors, certain ideas, certain actions, certain words, certain possessions. There are many things in our world that are not.Without knowledge, our love, at best, would get evenly distributed between the two. We'd love some things that are truly worth loving, and we'd love some things that aren't — without knowledge that'd be the best we could do. What we'd be far more likely do however, without knowledge — because we're not morally neutral, but sinful — is devote the majority of our love toward what the world calls lovely, but is, in fact, a distortion of true loveliness. I've been there, perhaps you have as well. It is misguided love. Detrimental love. Love in vain. Enter knowledge, like a beam of light into the dark. When our love begins to abound with knowledge, we find ourselves suddenly able to discern “what is good and acceptable and perfect” versus what isn't. Suddenly able, as one writer notes, “to put our highest affections on the highest virtues and not get distracted by lesser, peripheral matters” (ESV Expository).In other words: not less love, not muted love, not love spread thin, but love perfectly aimed and sent fully into motion — Sign me up, right?And it just keeps getting better. Just think … What happens when you begin eating better? You get healthier, right?What happens when you start moving better, like better posture, better form? You reduce injury, avoid sore muscles, grow in physical ability.What happens when you begin sleeping better? You have more energy, feel more alert and focused… At least that's what I've read.What happens when you start loving better? When you start regularly loving and approving what is excellent?Again, Paul tells us. See it in the second half of verse 10. Look with me there. “Be Pure and Blameless, filled with fruit” “10 so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ.” Be conformed to the image of His Son, who is, in himself, pure and blameless. Be transformed into that same image (of the Son) from one degree of glory to another. Be, in your character and conduct, pure and blameless.Now, I want to be absolutely clear, this does not earn us a righteous standing before God — that's not what inward purity and blamelessness is for. That's what Jesus' death and resurrection is for, that's what our faith in him is for. We receive the gift of righteous standing before God, by faith. We don't work for it. We don't earn it. But we do, after we've received it, begin to reflect it. And this to comes not from us, but from God.See in verses 10-11, “so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ.” See, it's all from him. It all comes through Jesus Christ. Our state of righteousness before God, our fruit of righteousness that reflects God — God is the source of both. Consider for a moment that: any love you have, any joy you possess, any peace you maintain, whatever patience you exhibit, whatever kindness you extend, every ounce of goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness within you, every last ounce of self-control, any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy … It all, every bit of it, has been given to you through Jesus Christ. You have only ever received the fruit of righteousness that comes through Christ. And why? Paul's logic is still progressing here. There's still more. What's the aim of it all? What's the purpose? What's the motivation? It is, quite simply, the glory of God. See it at the end of verse 11? “To the glory and praise of God.” That is the ultimate end, the goal. But there's one last phrase for us to look at in this text. And this will be our last point. One final phrase that notes the specific context of our ultimate end of glorifying God. What's the context?Verse 10: “So that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ.” For the great and holy day when Jesus comes to judge the living and the dead.So, our love abounds with knowledge and discernment. We're enabled to approve what is excellent — And so we do. We approve what is excellent, and it begins to change us. Grows us in the sense of subtraction: Purity and blamelessness drive out our love for sin. Grows us in the sense of addition: Fruits of righteousness take root and grow. And all for the day of Christ! For the day our Master returns. For the day that the bridegroom comes to receive his bride.See we want to be a kind of people who live our entire lives in anticipation of that day … constantly, unrelentingly fastened upon that day … straining, longing to grow in purity and blamelessness, to grow in fruits of righteousness, for that day because when he comes we want to offer him our very selves and say: “For the day of Christ”“Look! See what has happened in my heart, see the changes that've taken place in my mind, remember the trails of sin that were built there? The highways of sin that were paved there? Look now, how they've all eroded.Those stains caused by all my “yesses” to lust, all my nursing of envy, all my obedience to greed, all my contentment with pride, look now at how they've, through time spent with you, all faded away. Not even noticeable anymore.Those fields that used to be covered in weeds, thorns, and briers which so choked out my love for you. See how you've taught me, you've caused me to pull them each up, by the roots, and set them in the sun to whither and die. You had made me yours before any of this improvement in me. You had loved me at a time when I was still yet a sinner. You had called me child and given me with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, when I had yet to do anything to deserve it. And for love, for love, for love, I wanted my heart and mind on this day to be pure for you, blameless for you, filled with fruits of righteousness for you, beautiful for you. That you might be glorified in this, my spiritual worship — the transformation by the renewal of my mind, the testing and discerning what is your will, what is good and acceptable and perfect.How worth it would it be to say such a thing to your Savior? How excellent?To the glory and praise of God: My brothers and sisters, abound in love. Abound in knowledge. Refuse to treat either of the two as optional. And put them to work. To root out every single thing from your mind and heart and habits that is not excellent, that is not growing you in purity, that is not cultivating in you blamelessness, that is not producing in your fruits of righteousness. If it is the way you use your phone, the way you relate to others, the way you talk, the places you let your mind wander, if it's not excellent, not preparing you for the day of Christ — why, why, why keep them in your hand, keep them in your conduct, keep them in your heart, keep them in your mind? A great day is coming, aim to present your very best to Jesus on that day. Sail east, paddle east, swim east, and sink your nose to the sunrise. It will be worth it, it will be excellent.Now, in just a few moments, we're going to have a few individuals coming forward to be baptized as a display before you, their church family, of the faith that they have in Jesus. Their being baptized is also a fruit of their faith in Jesus, a desire to obey him in all things, including the call to be baptized. Their being baptized is also a proclamation that their life from here on out is not their own, for they now belong to God, and aim to live their lives for the glory of God.

The Faber Sessions #10 Part 5 on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader from the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, presented by Rick Ganz.“Dearest,” said Aslan very gently, “you and your brother will never come back to Narnia.”“Oh, Aslan!!” said Edmund and Lucy both together in despairing voices.“You are too old, children,” said Aslan, “and you must begin to come close to your own world now.”“It isn't Narnia, you know,” sobbed Lucy. “It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?”“But you shall meet me, dear one,” said Aslan.“Are—are you there too, Sir?” said Edmund.“I am,” said Aslan. “But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.”
This week we review and discuss the epic conclusion of the "Narnia" series. How does the tone of this film compare to the first two? Do we leave the characters in a good place? Where does this rank among other fantastical franchises? All of that and more this week on Monoreel Radio.
God Reveals What He Will Not Do One ship drives east and another drives west, With the selfsame winds that blow. ‘Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales, Which tells us the way to go. Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate, As we voyage along through life: ‘Tis the set of a soul, that decides its goal, And not the calm or the strife. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox When God tells us who He is, we need to believe Him, and turn from our sin to Him or back to Him, and re-build our life around His steadfast love and truth. Read Exodus 34:1-9 In the first message we saw God tell us He is merciful and gracious! In the second message we saw that God is slow to anger. In the third message we saw God tell us He is abounding in steadfast love. In the fourth message we saw God tell us He is also abounding in truth. In the fifth message we saw God tell us that He forgives sin. What will God not do? He will not clear guilty sinners who refuse to repent of their sin and turn to God. You and I can't be forgiven of sin if we don't repent. None of what's in verses 6-7 is for you if you refuse to repent and live by truth as God defines it in the holy Bible. You are simply deluding yourself, and to keep you from doing it God tells you one final component of His name. What do we expect a Judge to do with a guilty person? Declare them guilty, pronounce their penalty, and insure that justice is satisfied. Why is it one way in Exodus 20 and the reverse in Exodus 34? Because to live a balanced faith sometimes we need to be reminded of God's grace and forgiveness first, and other times we need to first be reminded of God's holiness and how much sin can mess up! Our sin can have consequences for years to come, but turning back to God and His steadfast love will impact eternity. What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? -Romans 6:1-2 “Nothing the enemy offers me is better than what God has already given me or plans to as my future unfolds.” -Chuck Lawless By the end of Exodus 34 we see that Moses' face was glowing because he had met with God. And that still happens to people today who repent, believe, and buld their life around their relationship with God. “My own plans are made. While I can, I shall sail east in the Dawn Treader. When she fails me, I paddle east in my coracle. When she sinks, I shall swim east with my four paws. And when I can swim no longer, if I have not reached Aslan's country, or shot over the edge of the world in some vast cataract, I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise.” -Reepicheep, the Aslan-loving mouse in C.S. Lewis' Voyage of the Dawn Treader Lost person, how can you be declared not guilty of your sin? Having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. -Romans 5:1 Even more astounding, how can you be declared righteous in God's eyes? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to Him as righteousness. -Gen. 15:1 How can that be? God made Him who knew no sin to become sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. -2 Corinthians 5:1
Day 233 Today's Reading: 1 John 3 One of the greatest thrills for any violinist is to play a Stradivarius. Named for their creator, Antonio Stradivari, who meticulously handcrafted these rare violins, which produce an amazing sound. So you can imagine the excitement of acclaimed British violinist Peter Cropper when, in 1981, London's Royal Academy of Music offered him a 258-year-old Stradivarius to play during a series of concerts. But then the unimaginable happened. As Cropper walked onto the stage during a concert, he tripped and fell on the violin, breaking off the neck. Forget being embarrassed—he'd just destroyed a priceless masterpiece! Cropper was inconsolable about what he'd done and vowed to do whatever he could to make it right. He took the violin to a master craftsman in the vain hope that he might be able to fix it. A miracle happened, and the craftsman was able to repair it. In fact, he repaired it so perfectly that the break was undetectable—and the sound was exquisite. The Academy was gracious enough to allow him to continue using the rare instrument. And for the remainder of the concert series, as Cropper played, he was reminded of the fact that what he once thought irreparably damaged had been fully restored by the hand of a Master craftsman. Our lives are in continual repair by the Master. That repair work has a name: sanctification. And one day, these broken lives will be a Stradivarius to God. Sanctification is what happens between now and know, between being born again and Jesus' coming again. Here's what 1 John 3 says about now and know: “Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is”(verse 2). Now is the condition we are in presently. The broken violin. Broken by sin. The Know—that's the end when all the repairs are done, and we will be like Jesus. In between? That's the repair process called sanctification. We can compare the process of sanctification to an iceberg, which is almost 90 percent underwater. As the sun shines on the iceberg, the exposed part melts, moving the lower part upward. In the same way, we are usually aware of only a small part of our sinfulness and need, which is all we can deal with at any one time. However, as the light of God's work in our lives changes us in the areas we know about, we become aware of new areas needing His work. So put simply, sanctification is God's continual working on me, getting me closer to looking like Jesus. It's a good work, but it isn't an easy work. As D. L. Moody once said, “I've had more trouble with D. L. Moody than any other man I know.” Devotional writer of the classic My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers, said this about sanctification: “[sanctification] will cause an intense narrowing of all our interests on earth, and an immense broadening of all our interests in God. Sanctification means intense concentration on God's point of view. It means every power of body, soul, and spirit chained and kept for God's purpose only.” And F. F. Bruce speaks about the work of sanctification between now and know as imperative: “Those who have been justified are now being sanctified; those who have no experience of present sanctification have no reason to suppose they have been justified.” Nineteenth-century writer J. C. Ryle even takes it to a new level when he says: “The faith which has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils. It is a ‘dead faith, because it is alone.'” My favorite book of C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia series has always been The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. At one point in the book, the irritating antagonis

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology Alli and I are dipping our toes into the transformative waters of sanctification. Sanctification initially presents in the Old Testament as a thing/object that is “set apart as sacred” – such as the Sabbath Day or utensils used for worship ceremonies in the Temple. However, in the New Testament, the concept of sanctification reflects the idea of how ragamuffins like us - who've put our hope in Jesus - are being progressively conformed into His image. In his book “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” from the iconic Narnia series, C.S. Lewis explains sanctification through a stinker of an adolescent named Eustace: It would be nice and fairly nearly true, to say that 'from that time forth, Eustace was a different boy. To be strictly accurate, he began to be a different boy. He had relapses. There were still many days when he could be very tiresome. But most of those I shall not notice. The cure had begun. The “cure” C.S. Lewis wrote about wasn't transactional, it was relational. I will surely step on some prim and proper toes with this assertion but sanctification is not primarily the embodiment of biblical ethics, nor is it accelerated by checking off more items on some proverbial religious “to-do” list. Spiritual maturity is less about our remediating our behavior and more about recognizing our belovedness. So please take a deep breath and relax – you're not about to get a sanctimonious smackdown or lectured about how unholy you are! Now grab a steaming cup of coffee or apple cider or pumpkin spiced something and your Bible – unless you're up to your elbows in alpaca wool because you thought handknit Christmas stockings would be a breeze, of course – and come hang out on the porch with Ally, Dr. Howard and me.

This week on The Literary Life podcast, Angelina, Cindy, and Thomas bring us the first installment in their series of discussions about C. S. Lewis' science fiction novel Out of the Silent Planet. Angelina shares some background on how Lewis began writing this book and what he set out to do through the genre of science fiction within the form of a romance. In looking at the historical time period in which he was writing, Thomas brings out the transcendent quality of Lewis' message. They talk about Ransom's character and his embodiment of the “old ways.” Cindy points out the Dante-esque details of the beginning of Ransom's journey. Other themes our hosts discuss are the problem of eugenics, the study of philology, the similarities in setup with First Men in the Moon, the enchantment of modernity, medieval cosmology, and so much more!

Commonplace Quotes: “I'm with Orwell,' said Strike. “Some ideas are so stupid, only intellectuals believe them.” Robert Galbraith (J. K. Rowling) An age of discovery…is apt to loathe established institutions, and be filled with spiritual arrogance. Agnes Mure Mackenzie, The Kingdom of Scotland It is a strange comment on our age that such a book lies hid in a hideous paper-backed edition, wholly unnoticed by the cognescenti, while any “realistic” drivel about some neurotic in a London flat–something that needs no real invention at all, something that any educated man could write if he chose, may get seriously reviewed and mentioned in serious book–as if it really mattered. I wonder how long this tyranny will last? Twenty years ago I felt no doubt that I should live to see it all break up and great literature return: but here I am, losing teeth and hair, and still no break in the clouds. C. S. Lewis, from a letter to Joy Davidman, Dec. 1953 A Selection from New Heaven and New Earth by D. H. Lawrence I was greedy, I was mad for the unknown. I, new-risen, resurrected, starved from the tomb starved from a life of devouring always myself now here was I, new-awakened, with my hand stretched out and touching the unknown, the real unknown, the unknown unknown. My God, but I can only say I touch, I feel the unknown! I am the first comer! Cortes, Pisarro, Columbus, Cabot, they are nothing, nothing! I am the first comer! I am the discoverer! I have found the other world! Books Mentioned: On Stories by C. S. Lewis Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C. S. Lewis The Discarded Image by C. S.

Sorry for the late post! Sorry also that this is mostly (but not entirely) old material. Despite that, it took a long, long time to edit! I wasn't happy with the way the audio turned out in Part 2 of Voyage of the Dawn Treader earlier this season, so this is my attempt to rectify that! It should be much easier to hear us talk--with a lot less deafening music and waves. Also, if you have a long drive ahead of you, stick us on--we'll cover all of Voyage of the Dawn Treader. You can listen to Part 1 (with David Bates and Eric Geddes), Part 2 (with Eric Geddes), as well as all new bonus material featuring the three Pipkin kids, whose patience I test with attempts at Socratic seminar on VODT--as well as attempts to get them to sit still. I'd say they give about as well as they get. The material with my kids is pretty heavily edited. You're welcome. As always, email me at inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com. Thanks again to David Bates and Eric Geddes, and thanks to Logan Huggins for mixing the first episode. Next time: Tolkien scholar Verlyn Flieger joins me to at last talk about Owen Barfield--and his influence on Tolkien. We'll discuss her landmark study, Splintered Light.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader takes us on an incredible journey through the Christian life. Its ups but its also downs, dark moments, and moments of light and redemption.
Oh yes! Let's dive into the world of C.S. Lewis and The Chronicles of Narnia. We try not to get too nerdy, but let's be real, we can't help ourselves. We discuss the themes, characters, and overall awesomeness of this classic series, and offer some insights on how it can deepen our understanding of faith and spirituality, including the parallels between Aslan and Jesus. So join us as we journey through the magical world of Narnia and explore the deeper truths that it reveals.We are discussing at-length the Chronicles of Narnia which can be read in two orders: Chronological: 1.) The Magician's Nephew2.) The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe3.) The Horse and His Boy 4.) Prince Caspian5.) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 6.) The Silver Chair 7.) The Last Battle Order of Publication:1.) The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe 2.) Prince Caspian3.) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 4.) The Silver Chair 5.) The Horse and His Boy6.) The Magician's Nephew 7.) The Last Battle A young fan in 1957 had a dispute with his mother saying he wanted to read them chronologically and his mother preferred publication order. This fan wrote to Lewis who sent this reply:“I think I agree with your order for reading the books more than with your mother's. The series was not planned beforehand as she thinks. When I wrote The Lion I did not know I was going to write any more. Then I wrote P. Caspian as a sequel and still didn't think there would be any more, and when I had done The Voyage I felt quite sure it would be the last. But I found as I was wrong. So perhaps it does not matter very much in which order anyone read them.”But it's worth noting that order of publication will introduce you to Aslan first as the Pevensie children met him: a mystery, a wonder yet a kind and good ruler who is capable of reversing death. If you read Magician's Nephew first, you miss this experience.
